Creating the template

To use general mapping, templates must exist for which mapping rules have been defined. You can only create mapping rules if you have administrator’s rights.

To create a template and define mapping rules for the template, proceed as follows:

  1. In Autodesk Inventor, select File > New to create a new template file.
  2. Specify the "attribute" properties to be mapped to PLM for the template. To set the "attribute" go to File > iProperties > Custom option.
  3. Click OK to save the template under template folder in Autodesk Inventor.
  4. Open the template in the Infor PLM Discrete. This is described in Opening the template in the Web PLM.
    Note: To change the properties of a template, open the template file, adjust the properties, and save the template file. The template files created for parts and assembly can also be used for iParts and iAssemblies, respectively.
